Most of these products contain citronella and lemon eucalyptus essential oils.

These oils do not repel mosquitoes, but they do mask the natural odor of the human body, which serves as bait for bloodsuckers.

These products are not intended for children from birth - please follow the age recommendations on the packaging.

Bracelets should only be used outdoors as the smell may be too intense indoors.

If your child is prone to tasting everything, it is recommended to wear the bracelet on the leg rather than the arm.

To prolong the life of your bracelet, store it in an airtight bag to prevent essential oils from evaporating when not in use.

As with other similar products, an allergic reaction is possible, so when using it for the first time, you need to monitor your skin's reaction. If the skin under the bracelet turns red, then the product is not suitable for you.
